Cate raised her hand and patted his handsome face. “Don’t be blindly jealous. Get lost.”
“I’m not getting lost.” Shaun rubbed his head in the crook of her neck. He asked with a hoarse voice, “Are you really not letting me accompany you?”
“No. It’s a trustable friend of mine.”
Cate was certain.
Shaun did not ask further. Women would get annoyed when men asked too many questions. “You’ll be free to accompany me at night, right?”
“Mm.”
Jewell Corporation.
At 11:00 a.m., Chester ended a meeting. After returning to the office, Attorney Larsen was inside. He had been waiting for some time.
“These are the accounts that kept smearing Jewell Corporation’s reputation. There are 23 of them. According to your request, a demand letter has been sent to all of them.” Attorney Larsen reported a few cases of dispute to Chester.
“Mm.” Chester took the information and browsed through it. “Are you confident in winning?”
“I might need to go to a few local hospitals to understand the situation,” Attorney Larsen said.
“You can go. I’ll inform my subordinates to cooperate with you as soon as possible,” Chester said. “Besides, compensate the few victims from before as soon as possible. This issue must be settled as quickly as possible even if you have to spend more money.”
“Don’t worry. I accept my huge salary every year for a reason.”
Attorney Larsen laughed. He suddenly said, “By the way, I just came back from the city hall. I saw Cate and Eliza…”
Chester’s brows moved. His deep-set gaze beckoned Attorney Larsen to continue talking.
“I asked around. It seemed like they were going through procedures to transfer Neeson Corporation,” Attorney Larsen said.
“Transfer Neeson Corporation?” Astonishment appeared on Chester’s handsome face. “Wasn’t Neeson Corporation acquired by Cate? Is she transferring it to Eliza?”
He remembered that he had someone to get information on Neeson Corporation after Sarah was punished.
He was willing to acquire Neeson Corporation because he thought it was the only thing the Neeson family left behind.
However, after discovering that Cate had bought it, he gave up.
Attorney Larsen nodded. “Actually, Neeson Corporation was in a slump ever since it fell into Thomas’ hands. Many senior managers gradually left. Neeson Corporation went through two more owners, but they managed it poorly. Even after Cate acquired it, it was still in the red. It’s meaningless for Eliza to take over Neeson Corporation. It’s no longer the same company as it was in the past.”
“That’s not for certain. If Eliza is Reborn, she might have a way to revive Neeson Corporation.”
Chester frowned while being deep in thought.
He just did not understand why Eliza would want Neeson Corporation.
Could it be because of charity again?
Was their relationship that good?
After Attorney Larsen left, Chester quickly called Shaun. “Did Cate sell Neeson Corporation to Eliza?”
“Huh?” Shaun was astonished. “So she’s selling it to Eliza.”
“Cate didn’t tell you about such an important matter?” Chester said bluntly, ” Shaun, your status in the family is unacceptable.”
“Nowyou know that I’m the lowest hierarchy.” Shaun sighed.
“Why did she sell it to Eliza?” Chester was curious.
“Maybe because Eliza and charity were best friends. Cate is usually busy. She has a few companies in her hands and can’t manage them all. Selling it is a good option.” Shaun made a guess. However, he felt depressed. Why did Cate not tell him the truth in the morning? He would not say anything if he knew she was selling it to Eliza.
Chester was deep in thought.
As he was thinking, someone knocked on his office door.
“Let’s talk next time.” Chester put down the phone and raised his head. Cindy entered in a white dress while carrying a food container.
“Chester, this is the chicken soup your mom specially told me to bring you.” Cindy fiddled with the hair by her ears and said gently, “Your mom said you’ve been too tired lately and have gotten a lot thinner. You should replenish your nutrients.”
As she spoke, she opened the food container.
The fragrance of the soup wafted out.
“Since you’ve delivered the soup, you can go out,” Chester said indifferently.
Cindy bit her lip.
“Chester, I… I can’t get any film or advertisement offers lately. Even the songs I sang have been taken down from all major platforms. I haven’t had income for three months.”
Chester watched Cindy, who was in front of him. For some reason, Eliza’s face flashed across his head.
Cindy and Eliza were both Felix Media’s artists. One of them was Jewell Corporation’s shareholder. Even before then, Eliza did a great job in filming in the past. She was brave and sharp.
As for Cindy…
Aside from thinking of various ways to reap benefits from him, she did not know how to work hard.
When Chester recalled that he had almost married Cindy, he felt waves of disgust in his heart.
“I’ll have someone transfer one million dollars to you. It’s for your expenses for two months,” Chester said indifferently.
“Isn’t that… a little too less?” Cindy was slightly disappointed. “Actually, I’m planning to invest and open a cinema with my friends. We’ve even thought of a name. I want to have a career of my own. I can’t keep relying on you.”
“How much money do you want?” Chester lit a cigarette and asked coldly.
Cindy studied his expression. She could not grasp his thoughts. However, she really had not been earning anything. “Over three million dollars. The location we have our eyes on is more expensive. Its area is bigger too.”
“How should these three million dollars be counted? By how many times you’ll donate blood to my mom?” Chester took a drag on the cigarette. “We’re not even in a relationship. You can’t ask me to give you money without any reason, right? Three million dollars… Some people can’t even earn that much in their entire lives.”
Cindy was stunned. She did not expect Chester to be so particular about money. When she donated blood to Madam Jewell in the past, Chester would agree to whatever conditions she gave.
Three million dollars was just like 30 dollars to him.
“Chester, why do we have to talk about money between US? I was so worried when you were in jail. I took care of your mom like my own too. If she needs blood in the future, I’ll be there whenever I’m called,” Cindy spoke softly.
She was hoping Chester would be a little soft-hearted as he had suffered at the hands of Eliza. Besides, she had not left his side for these few months.
“Since we don’t have to be so clear on money…” Chester flicked off some ashes on the ashtray and faked a smile. “That’s all the more reason you shouldn’t ask me for money. Look, I treat you as a friend. Seeing that we’re friends, you donating blood to my mom who’s sick is no big deal, right?”
Cindy suddenly had no words.
She only found her voice after some time. ” Donating blood isn’t a small matter.
Moreover, my blood type is rare. If an emergency occurs, it’ll cost a life. The doctor also said it’s safest to have a six- month gap between the first blood donation and the second.” “So?”
Chester cocked his head slightly. “You want the safest way to donate blood. You also want me to treat you well and give you money. Cindy, are you a cow or a whale? Do you have four stomachs? You’re so greedy.”
“You misunderstood me. I just want to start my own business,” Cindy said hastily.
“Why don’t you ask me how much money I’ve spent on you?” Chester said, “It must’ve been at least hundreds of millions of dollars. I even donated a building to a school to support your comeback when your reputation sunk. I also found the best team to raise you to fame. You were the one who didn’t have the luck. Moreover, you come from a small place. You’re in the capital of Australia now. I bought you houses and villas. You also have a few luxury cars under your name. Now you’re telling me you want to start a business, yet you can’t even take out three million dollars?”
Chester sneered. “Let’s not talk about the hundreds of millions of dollars you earned in the entertainment industry. With just the money I gave you alone, you should have tens of millions of dollars in your hand. In the end, you can’t even bear to take out three million dollars.”
Cindy turned pale. “I… I’ve always been wasteful, and I spend a lot of money. Besides, it’s not easy to sell those houses… and cars right away.”
“Cindy, I despise your pretentiousness the most. Just be honest if you want money. Don’t harbor bad intentions and expect yourself to gain a good reputation.” Chester said mockingly, “You can just say that you won’t donate blood to my mom if I don’t give you the money. I’ll definitely give it to you.”
Cindy bit her lip in humiliation.
She still had money, but she had lost her future. She just wanted to save more money, what if her investment failed?
